Congratulations to the March Employee of the Month, Lorinda Walker! Lorinda Walker is a valued member of the Customer Experience Team and has been with GSTOP since August of 1986.

Her Amarillo coworkers all say that she is very humble, intelligent, very dedicated and hardworking. She is an excellent example of the Girl Scout Law and Promise and she always makes decisions based on her values. Her coworkers say: -Lorinda is a quiet warrior on the Customer Care team. A powerhouse on staying on top of cases and diligent on getting answers back to members. A stickler for processes and details. She is a gem! -Lorinda is always willing to help anyone from staff to volunteers. I love that she asks questions to make sure she is sending the correct and consistent message but always advocating for the girls. Congratulations, Lorinda, on a job well done, but more importantly, THANK YOU for your dedication and devotion to the council staff, and to the girls and volunteers of Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains. We appreciate all that you do!

It's a booth buyout! GSTOP CEO Becky Burton and GSTOP Board Treasurer Cynthia Joseph-Keller bought out Troop 2585's booth over the weekend! Of the experience, Becky said, "I have one of the best jobs in the world. Today was one of those mountain top experiences that reminded me why I do what I do. I had the privilege of "buying out" this Daisy Troops cookie booth. Surprised them and bought 100 packages. Don't worry, they are all being donated to our Cookies for Heroes program. It's not too late for you to support our girls and their entrepreneurial efforts." . . Get 'em before they're gone! Find a cookie booth near you by visiting https://lnkd.in/gF2RYdzM.

Jennifer is an invaluable part of the product program and retail teams. She has always been a team player, given 110%, and takes a great deal of pride, which is why the team is better with her on it. She has been instrumental in helping the Lubbock area as well as helping mentor the Lubbock new staff once they were hired. Her passion for the program comes through in everything she does and inspires those that work with her. ? She is a hard worker, she cares about her work, she is a strong advocate for her volunteers. She is always willing to help wherever she is asked, and often before she is asked. She took the initiative to support Lubbock instead of waiting to be asked for help.
